Research skills

Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify the basic skills expected of researchers in the public and private sectors. In order to identify the skills, a postal survey questionnaire was designed, including the main basic skills. The questionnaire was sent to the heads of the research sections of 150 purposefully selected public sector organizations and 100 purposefully selected private sector organizations. There were variations in the observed facts and skills of the researchers at the responding institutions. Chi-square analysis showed that there were significant (P<0.05) associations between the two sectors and industries that the organizations are involved in. The educational qualifications, selected computer packages, and English knowledge were significantly associated. There was a significant relationship between the two sectors and the research person’s skills. The need for computer literacy for the researchers and skills on basic research techniques had no significant association with the sectors. The study revealed that basic skills such as research design, data collection, data analysis, report writing, seminar presentations, literature studies, and basic computing skills related to these activities are expected of research personnel in both public and private sector organizations involved in manufacturing, selling, education, research and development, public service, consulting, electronic media, housing, advertising, management, and financing industries and services. Therefore, these can be included in a curriculum designed to provide basic training for the researchers. Finally, the research skills among the researchers in both sectors were low.
